AK Hotel, Venice Beach CA

The AK Hotel celebrates Venice by investing in businesses on the site to ensure that important parts of our common story remain protected while simultaneously creating new and shared experiences. Located on the north end of Abbot Kinney, it preserves the existing Joe’s and Primitivo restaurants, The Venice Place building, and The Sculpture Garden, while adding a new boutique hotel with an expanded courtyard, spa, eateries, shops and creative office space. The mixed use 85 room hotel project incorporates three restaurants, a courtyard, pocket park and day spa with ground floor retail over a 160+ car subterranean robotic parking garage. For more information on this project visit the Hotel website at www.abbotkinneyhotel.com.
